Default Anyone make commercial counters/reception desks for a living?

As title, I need one made for my new premises.

I use a company but in recent times our business relations have become a little sour due to a new share holder in the other company who i dont quite get on with.

Likewise need to find someone who can make me a counter and possibly work on trade with later when we resume shopfitting services

friend of mine is a kitchen manfucturer based in Essex. they get involved in all sorts, from the usual kitchens (approx 60 for a former employer) through to office fit outs (they fitted three offices for my last employer).

i'm sure they could make a suitable counter if you're interested in speaking to them...let me know if you want contact details

Rich the problem would be building and delivering all the way to bradford and then assembling. Do you think that will add to cost big time?

I was hoping to find someone around the yorkshire region

Phil, thanks for the info matey

Do you think I could get a decent counter made with a budget of 2k

I dont want any lighting etc but the counter does need to be curved with a little "design cosmetics" so to say :P

Honest answer is no but it would depend on materials and finishes wanted.

If you have any drawings send them in and our estimators will give you a ball park

It was supposed to be a seamless matt white finish to be honest. I was going to jazz it up myself with a nice 12mm large white foamex logo

Ill send some photos over for a design i have made but i am now wanting something much simpler and much more different

cheers

no idea tbh, but you could run it past them if you're curious
or alternatively, would some kitchen base units with suitable cladding on the "public" side and a granite work surface do the trick? ...(or even just a laminate worktop?)

edited to say having read the resr of the replies on this thread, you're probably better off speaking to a full stime shopfitter rather than the people i suggested. sure they could help, but sounds like you;re looking for something of a statement and that's not really their field...outside of kitchens at least

I've used these plenty of times:
Exhibition stand design from 4C exhibition + interior solutions, East Kilbride, Scotland, UK.

Shows, bars, clubs, hotels etc etc.

Tell them Gaz from Ace and a Face gave you the details. Maybe brownie points for me.

I know they recently refitted a bar out, hotel, new look, royal highland show.
